Hi,  
I am new to sqlite3. Is there any good tutorial where I can learn  
how to use sqlite3 databases with Rails.

Thanks

New Rails (which I assume you are using) - uses sqlite3 by default. My  
recommendation would be to follow rails examples and in the process  
peek into sqlite and familiarize yourself…

Sqlite as such is pretty straight forward …sqlite3 website has some  
documentation.

Don’t forget the sqlite manager plugin for Firefox…it pretty much  
rocks.
